work party reminder - Sunday

The Weardale Ski Club Ltd

Sunday 19th June - Father's Day - what better way to spend it than a good workout helping out at a work party. Ladies, if you haven't bought him a present yet, print out this email, wrap it up and rename it "adventure day package", pack him a lunch and you can have the day to yourselves! Similar adventure days normally retail at £110 from Redletterdays.co.uk but for this summer only they are free.

There is loads of work to be done and so far attendance can only be described as pathetic. Our first 2 parties have attracted a grand total of 10 people in all and only 2 of those were non committee members - thanks to Ivan and Martin who put in a good days work. That means this sunday we should have the remaining 790 members? Seriously though if you do want the equipment to run without breaking down, you want the snow fences vertical and doing their job, the slopes cleared of rocks, the lodge clean, the access route not boggy etc then we need you to turn out and help - its no use complaining when the snow comes that something is not working or that you have scratched your new carvers on a stone. We have a very small number of very dedicated people who literally spend weeks up there every year, in their own time, unpaid, unrecognised mostly and struggling to keep the club going but there is only so much that a few people can do.

If for some reason you cannot make Sunday then we will have 3 further work parties in September. All the work parties start at 10am from the car park.
